Mid-October.

Li Gaofu came to Lin Zhichao's office and said respectfully: "Boss! ”

Since he worked for Lin Zhichao, he has called Lin Zhichao 'boss', even in private meetings, although Lin Zhichao still calls him 'Brother Gao Fu'.

Lin Zhichao would be a man when he took refuge in him, and Li Gaofu would also be a man when he was working for Lin Zhichao now; The entire Changjiang Industrial people did not know that Li Gaofu was Lin Zhichao's cousin, and at most thought that he was a fellow villager.

Of course, these are not deliberate by Lin Zhichao, but by Li Gaofu on purpose.

"Have you read the newspaper, YT City JF?"

YT City is close to Weihaiwei, and the G Army behind JF Yantai has taken refuge in HLD, so the trade route in that direction is much safer. What's more, Hong Kong's ships fly more British flags, and their safety can still be guaranteed.

Li Gaofu nodded and said, "I saw the news in the morning!" What does the boss mean that Weihaiwei is going to open a trade? I have been inquiring about the news in Huayan Company, and if I open a trade as soon as possible, I will definitely get first-hand information. ”

In the past six months or so, he has been preparing, and even went to Japan to investigate, so it can be said that he is waiting for the opportunity to come.

Lin Zhichao said with certainty: "Shidao will definitely open trade in the near future, the United States and the Republic of China have begun to blockade the economy of the JF area, and now that the war has started, the demand for gasoline, chemicals, tires, and plastics is very large, and they can only get it from Hong Kong." ”

Then, he took out a wad of money and put it on the table.

"So, you resign from my company right now and start your own business. Here is 100,000 Hong Kong dollars, which I lend to you privately. ”

Whether it is repayment or support, a mere 100,000 yuan is nothing to him, let alone borrowing.

Li Gaofu was not apprehensive or uneasy at this time, came to the desk, and picked up the banknote.

"Don't worry, boss, I will repay it as soon as possible!"

Lin Zhichao waved his hand and said easily: "Don't worry, I'm not in a hurry to use money." ”

Although he drew funds from Cheung Kong Industrial, and Cheung Kong also borrowed money, he was really not in a hurry.

Li Gaofu knew that Lin Zhichao didn't like to listen to polite words anymore, so he nodded seriously and turned a thousand words into one sentence: "I will do a good job!" ”

At the same time, he seemed to know that Lin Zhichao was a little taboo about getting involved in this kind of business, so naturally there was no need to talk about anything else.

In fact, Lin Zhichao is not very taboo!

He is him, Li Gaofu is Li Gaofu, the two are just distant cousins, and it is not popular to engage in strains in this era. What's more, what Li Gaofu is doing now is trading with the JF zone, and he will not be sanctioned by the United States.

As for the future battle on the peninsula, if Li Gaofu is willing to take risks, he will not stop him, he can make two short trips, and just stop in time; At that time, Li Gaofu would already be independent, and it was impossible to involve Lin Zhichao.

Cao Wenjin did make some money shipping to the peninsula in his previous life, and was later sanctioned by Eagle Sauce, but the sanctions were lifted in the early sixties. But although Cao Wenjin makes a lot of money, the risk is also very large. In the end, I couldn't get mixed up, so I went to Southeast Asia to move stones, and waited until Eagle Sauce lifted the sanctions, and then he came to his senses.

Zhao Congyan was much smarter, ran a few times, made money and immediately stopped, and started to do business with RB people.

In fact, in the mid-to-early 50s, Eagle Sauce itself had a great prejudice against Hong Kong, believing that it was a smuggling paradise. Later, even the governor of Hong Kong went to the United States to give speeches, and the need for American business to return to the Far East slowly changed this situation.

After Li Gaofu left, Lin Zhichao showed a smile, he had already supported three potential businessmen - Tang Zhongyuan, Li Shauji, and Li Gaofu, these people grew up, and they were naturally Lin Zhichao's business allies, and they may also be younger brothers.

After Li Gaofu resigned from Cheung Kong Industrial, he immediately made an appointment with three friends, and he began to plan as early as half a year ago, so he carefully observed which people were suitable to be partners.

Not gambling is the first rule, and the second is best to be full-time, so the cooperative allies already have a choice.

The four of them were in a tea room, and a friend named Huang Tinggui quipped: "It seems that Brother Gao Fu has been promoted again recently, and he invited us to come to Lu Yu's tea room for a party, and we have made a lot of money." ”

Li Gaofu's social status is not low, the deputy general manager of Cheung Kong Industrial, with an annual salary of 3,600 Hong Kong dollars, plus a year-end bonus, can barely be regarded as the middle class in Hong Kong.

However, coming to Lu Yu's tearoom is obviously a rare time, after all, he still has a family to raise.

Li Gaofu responded with a smile: "What is the promotion, thanks to the boss, it is already under the two of them, and it is obviously impossible to rise again." So I quit my job and decided to start my own business. ”

As soon as the words fell, the three of them looked at Li Gaofu in surprise, knowing that Li Gaofu didn't have much background; If you have a background, he is also the deputy general manager of Cheung Kong Industrial, backed by Hong Kong's new tycoon Lin Zhichao.

"What business are you going to do?" Huang Tinggui asked curiously.

Li Gaofu told the story of trade and finally sent out an invitation.

Three of his friends were all managerial or from wealthy families, such as Huang Tinggui's family, which was engaged in trading; However, Huang Tinggui has many brothers and sisters, and he has long been detached.

"What a thought! It's just that we are not familiar with this Shidao trade route, and we don't know how the people over there are? Huang Tinggui said worriedly.

Li Gaofu had already done his homework and said confidently: "I know a shipowner who has an old ship of 1,200 tons under his command, and he is familiar with that route, and the tonnage of the ship is just right. As for the people over there? I believe that since they are trading, they can't do anything that is unfair, and they are doing business in Hong Kong. ”

Then, Li Gaofu also shook out the experience of the Japanese inspection, which was immediately recognized by everyone.

Huang Tinggui said: "I'm in! ”

One of the other two asked tentatively, "How much principal do you need?" ”

Li Gaofu said: "The total principal is 200,000 Hong Kong dollars, and I will contribute 100,000 Hong Kong dollars, accounting for 50% of the shares. The remaining 50% of the shares, you can distribute them proportionally. ”

Suddenly, the three of them looked at Li Gaofu in surprise, they really couldn't imagine that Li Gaofu was a real person who didn't show his face, and he would be 100,000 Hong Kong dollars as soon as he made a move.

Li Gaofu smiled bitterly: "It's all borrowing!" ”

Who did they borrow it from, the three of them vaguely understood, and they were even more sure that this business could be done.

Huang Tinggui immediately said: "I will give 50,000 Hong Kong dollars, accounting for 25% of the shares, if you can't get it, I can increase the shares." The two of you have an opinion, you can speak out. ”

He calculated that the remaining two people were not worth much.

Sure enough, the remaining two discussed it and decided that the remaining 25% would each contribute half of the money, accounting for 12.5% of the shares; Even then, you almost have to borrow some.

Li Gaofu returned home excitedly, he had no way to be calm in the past few days, and now he finally took the first step. The four partners rented a 200-square-foot office space in Central to serve as an office for the trading house.

Almost as soon as the news of the opening of trade in Ishishima came out, they organized a trade trip and took a two-person ship trade with the ship.

"What is so pleased?" Chen Shufang noticed her husband's abnormality for the first time.

In the past two years, she has been very hopeful, with more and more savings in hand, and she has lived a good life.

If her husband is happy about something, she is naturally happy for the first time, thinking that maybe the cousin has given her husband a salary increase.

Oh my God, if you can earn 5,000 Hong Kong dollars a year, wouldn't you be able to buy a house in a few years?

Thinking of this, Chen Shufang immediately looked at Li Gaofu with flattery, but she didn't know that men would become bad if they were rich.

Seeing this, Li Gaofu knew that it was time to discuss it with his family, so he told the matter from beginning to end.

"You're crazy! 100,000 dare to borrow! Chen Shufang jumped up and said.

"Son, why can't you think about it?" Mother Li had an apocalyptic tone.

Only Li's father didn't say a word, looking at his son directly, wondering what Li Gaofu thought.

Seeing this, Li Gaofu pretended to be confident and said: "As soon as I lie down, I can earn at least 100,000 Hong Kong dollars, and I can get 50,000 Hong Kong dollars." Run a few times, Shufang, you can buy a house, this kind of good thing, what are you fussing about? ”

Although he is also a little bottomless, he doesn't want to show it in front of his family.

Although Chen Shufang was immediately tempted, she remembered the debt of 100,000 yuan, and immediately said: "But. However, "she didn't dare to speak, worried about bad luck, and 100,000 Hong Kong dollars was an astronomical amount for her."

Li's mother was worried about her son's safety and said, "Sailing is risky! ”

Li Gaofu immediately said: "There are always risks, but if you think about it, the boss is worth millions, and he often flies to foreign countries to investigate, isn't it worth learning from me!" As for the 100,000 debts, you can rest assured, you can afford to make money; If I can't make any money, I will continue to work for the boss, and the money will be paid back slowly, and he will not be in a hurry. ”

To put it mildly, I finally dispelled the doubts and worries of my family.

In the end, Chen Shufang said excitedly: "Can you earn 100,000 Hong Kong dollars on one trip? ”

Li Gaofu said confidently: "It's almost this number, but it takes more than a month to make a trip." ”

This time it was Chen Shufang's turn to sleep, and she kept thinking about earning 100,000 yuan in one trip, so five trips would be 500,000 yuan, and her man could share 250,000 yuan and buy 8 houses.

I wake up laughing when I dream!

Only Li Gaofu understands that although he has made a lot of preparations, there are too many unknown circumstances, and this road will really not be seized by the G Army?

It's still a good thing to seal it up, if he dies in a bombardment, then he will die in the vast sea.

"Zhichao is so benevolent and righteous, he will take care of my wife and children (your wife and children are raised by me)!"

"Wealth is in the sky, life and death have fate. If I don't give it a try, how can I succeed? ”

In the end, Li Gaofu let go of the apprehension in his heart and ignited his determination.

In the world, there is no risky business, and he can be regarded as risking his life.

In fact, if you are an old man who has a trust, you naturally don't need to follow the ship in person, but Li Gaofu and others are poor and white, and it is naturally difficult to start a business.
